European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen acknowledged AI safety risks in her State of the European Union address but proposed only a discussion with frontier labs rather than a global pause. She highlighted the EU’s AI Act as a framework for addressing risks while sidestepping calls to engage U.S. and Chinese leaders on the issue. **(POLITICO)**
